This is a great cymbal, period. It has a nice dry, high-pitched attack, with a warm sound to fade out. It blends very good with low and med pitched cymbals. This cymbal can get very loud when needed. Priced a little high but well worth it. Its a nice 14" crash. I love it.

This cymbal responds quickly with a minimul amount of effort. Barely hit it and it crashes--alot like a splash does. Pretty dark for a 14", which suits me fine. Features: 5--I give it a low rating because you can't do anything but crash it; it's so sensitive and it lacks a defined bell, so there really aren't any features to it. Quality: 10--even though it doesn't have any features, it sounds awesome, a wonderful blend of high and lows with a quick decay. Value: 7--it's pricey. Overall: 9--Quality is always the most important factor in any cymbal purchase, so this cymbal fits the bill. Buy it if you like quick, punchy sounds--and especially if you aren't an aggressive player. You don't need to be aggressive with this cymbal. It does all the work for you.
